Students can retake an exam or complete an assessment if it has the potential to help them pass their unit.
A Supplementary Exam or Assessment refers to when a student is given the opportunity to repeat their assessment or exam so that they may pass the unit.
Eligibility Criteria
If you have achieved a borderline mark (45 – 49%) in a unit, you may be offered a supplementary exam or assessment by your Unit Coordinator. The Unit Coordinator will agree to granting a supplementary exam or assessment if you feel the student has a reasonable probability of passing.
A Supplementary Assessment is not available where a student has revised and resubmitted a failed Assessment Item at least one following meaningful feedback, and the re-marked assessment item contributes to a final mark in the range of 45 – 49%.
Supplementary Assessment Process
Once you have been granted a supplementary exam or assessment, your Unit Coordinator will email you to explain what needs to be completed and when.
The only grades available after a supplementary assessment are a Pass (P) or Fail (N). An Ungraded Pass is not available. You have the right to appeal supplementary results (link to Assessment Re-mark), providing you have valid grounds.
If you are unable to attend a supplementary exam due to illness or exceptional circumstances, you can apply for a deferred assessment.
